They would have had to begin engaging with very challenging, effortful-based activities. If you were to compare the hunter-gatherer with ADHD to the one without it, The one with ADHD, because it's got low dopamine levels, would experience a greater elevation in their dopamine and actually enjoy the activity more and thrive more than the other hunter-gatherer without it.

So then they would get really into it and they might actually become the greatest hunter or the greatest shelter builder. As a result of the fact they would effectively experience more pleasure from the activity itself. And with the schools, we're really trying to reframe this for a lot of young people.

We've kind of changed it from ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, to ADHA, attention deficit hyperactivity ability, to try and make it like a concept in their mind whereby this is going to be challenging. It definitely comes with a lot of difficulty. If you find something to isolate on, you can really, really thrive.

And if you think evolutionarily, it would actually be very useful for us to all have a specific thing that we can hyper focus on. You didn't just want a group that were all identical at every single skill because that group wouldn't thrive as much as a group that had an unbelievable set of hunters and unbelievable set of builders, unbelievable set of food providers, all that kind of stuff.

So it makes sense that naturally there would be different things. We would be more have a greater inclination towards. And the big thing there is understanding you don't have to be good at something for it to be your thing at the beginning. It's only that it has to interest you in some way.

Like I've had the exact same nightmare in school, really couldn't engage with any of it until I found this psychology world and neuroscience. And I thought, wow, that actually for some reason sparks my mind. But even when I started doing it like 15, 16, I still wasn't very good at it. I just thought, well, this is at least something that's interesting to me.

And finding the niche things as someone that has an ADHD brain, you think, I like it. That's where you can thrive. And I've even had it with slide design in terms of making presentations with work. I always just thought for some reason that interested me. And I was not good at it when I started doing it. But I just niched so hard and I'm just going to design slides. Really?

Your slides are beautiful. I saw them.

I actually kept as that design role. I have a great guy on my team that supports me now with it to make it extra cool. But it was something that I wasn't necessarily good at, but it was something I liked and I found it interesting. And then you eventually, because if you have a brain that gets a big dopaminergic stimulation of that activity, you will eventually be extremely good at it.

But you just have to realize that you don't have to be good at something straight away.
